Perhaps the lack of description and presence when it comes to Edward is meant to show what their (E and E) personalities are like (not overly dramatic, slightly serious, not afraid to be in the background, etc, etc). I believe (and since we haven't gotten to it yet my memory may be foggy) there is MUCH more description of W once he appears in the story and since W and Marianne are much more dramatic, passionate, outgoing types of people perhaps that follows along with my train of thought?

Both "couples" are certainly presented in different ways. Then again if most of the descriptions ARE coming from Marianne's POV then it makes sense that there wouldn't be a lot about poor Edward and much more about W.

Whose POV is the story supposed to mainly be from? I know P&P seems to be from Lizzy's POV.
